@Antifaith29 Not necessarily.... The gunner has the option to turn on and off the head tracking for gun aiming. At long ranges the gunner uses a sighting system in the cockpit, controlled by a joystick which moves both the aiming optics and the gun, below his normal FOV. So without the ability to turn off the head tracking, when he looked down into the magnified optics, the gun would turn to the ground and the rabbits would have a bad day :)
@jsk8drummer not really, I am in army aviation, and if you get into WOCS school as a 153 (Aviator) or go to OCS and get lucky enough to get an Aviation assignment, then its pretty simple. Graduate WOCS/OCS, go to your training, and dont wash out.
@mic06007 Yeah! If you pause it at 0:08 you can see the wheels on the apache are slightly lower then the guys head!! He must have really wanted to go home!
No, I was a Marine, but not there.... I meant I watched it from my big screen computer real close with sound up... scared the oorah out of me, in a good way.
Arabs are generally agressive and stupid people who dont understand friendly behavior. They think in the Desert culture kind. Attack, robbery and surpress your neighbours if possible. The few Shiite Arabs are more moderate and civilized than the Sunni ones. Disgusting Camels
YEAAH AMERICA world police number one razing country's as normal, how does it feel to have your own president (Bush in this case) blowing WTC for getting into iraqi oilfields? I was actualy american supporter for quite time, until i learned that actualy the terrorism is america itselfl. Funny thing with obama is the Guantanamo, he's just too scared to set those "prisoners" loose, because when they get to their countries, everyone of them will spawn 100 terrorists for sure :>. Riight, quite OT..
@Varjo123 What do you know of war? you fuck! When Vietnam invaded us we faught back! When afghanistan invaded us we faught back and now when iraq invade us we fight back! you will be next your cuntry will be crushed under the american army!! HOOOOOOOOOOORRRAAAAAAHHHHHHHH
@DoodeWarrior Yes, but they have invaded other countries. And when that happens, the world calls 911 and that is the US military to end it. The reason these or any other countries have not invaded our soil is because of our military.
@Varjo123 Your gonna need more than a couple hundred more, so why don't you and 'Allah' kiss our RED WHITE and BLUE butt's. Just remember... We can turn your dumb ass into glass anytime we get tired of playing... Hahahahahahah... Hahahahahaha..... AMERICA OWNS YOUR ASS!! Hahahahahaha......................
Looks like they forgot to clip the weekly coupon in the Stars and Stripes; so, they settled for a quick and less expensive method of getting a hair cut.
YEAH!! What a great chopper.....talk about close air support,huh?? A great machine..saw one in person and it is awesome....their crews adore this aircraft...awesome indeed!
